Good to see someone else is stuck in the 70's with this band, too, and my car is full of Moodies tapes and I am playing them constantly and FULL BLAST as they should be played. I listen to no one else and I will always be in love with Justin Credible! YUMMMM!
Oh wow, what a beautiful song!!!!! Justin, you look so much more at ease in the 70's than you did in the late 60's, and at The Isle of Wight concert. I could play this song over and over again for hours. Such talent will not be seen again.
God meant for Justin Hayward to use his beautiful voice and bless us with it, just as He meant for John and Justin to sound like angels! Their harmony is HEAVENLY! Never get sick of looking at Justin, and John is good eye candy, too!
just another one great,never wrote a bad song been a fan since there early days seing them at salford univeristy,having released there new album question of balance
They are so young! Handsome & sweet. What a joy it is to watch them sing. They have such beautiful voices, and the song is such a joyful, hopeful one. Justin and John & the Moodies have always been my favorite. They have such a special gift. Sing forever boys!
Forgot all about this song from 1975, until I was putting my feet up on a side chair in the Worlington Hotel back in 1994. It was playing on their stereo, and it hit me all of a sudden. What a shame, that I missed all of those years in between.
@reneecalling two gorgeous men--short or long hair, gods until the day I die. They gave me songs to get through my miserable life by...Today, their still adorable.
This is why I love MB. They can write deeply personal, almost religious songs and songs with a good taste in timbre (listen to that guitar tone towards the end!).
Brilliant...they sound amazing...live! Plus John's beaming smile with those dimples. I could watch this all day. Alas, real life keeps getting in the way.....
i was givn the "as my guitar gently weeps" cd for christmas, altt of songs i didntcare for but thi song was on it and ive fallen in lovewith it its so relaxing and nice, whe im listening to my ipod on the bus home aftera long tirign da at college and this comes on i getso relaxed and i can just letmyself go and fall asleep, amazing song
Beautiful! Both Justin & John were just so very hansdsome, and such beautiful voices. And boy could they play those guitars! Haven't seen this before, just wonderful! They still are! Going to see them this October 21st here in Portland, OR
There is something about the Moody Blues and the Blue Jays were able to really capture the entire Moody Blues feel. I know some will say because of Justin Hayward and John Lodge but there were (are) other great members in the Moodies. This music really brings back great memories.
At 16, not knowing how famous they were becoming ; i saw that OLD OLD video of them singing, how cute were they....and now, the same, their too handsome for words.
I will always love the music of the Moody Blues, and the Blue Jays was a continuation of that as the the Moodies were taking a five year hiatus. You can tell John and Justin have a special working relationship and enjoy signing/playing together. I think John must be a pretty good sport to keep playing with all that blue confetti falling in his hair, which must have been just a little distracting.
Hi Lyndy, the song was released about October 1975, justy after I started work at 16. One of those songs you can pinpoint to defined time in your life.
New hope Travelers in a storm Finding love is warm New day The world has just begun Our eyes have seen the sun If you don't know the way If you can't see the wood for the trees Taste the wine from the water Well what should it matter To the fool or the dreamer?
Blue guitar Fortune of my ways Making of my days New chord Counting up the ways Happiness is lazy If you don't know the song If you can't put the words to the tune Tell the rhyme from the reason What should it matter To the fool or the dreamer?
moodyfan999, I got this better copy from a Heart of gold Moody Blues fan. ;) and a few other too. But most of them I got when they came to my home town. :)
melissachristel, This is so true. Our Blue Jays are the BEST!! I would love to meet the J's one day. And yes, David Gilmour is a handsome man as well. I have some pink floyd video's when they were doing "dark side of the moon". Wow is all I can say. ;)
This doesn't sound live as such, but is a very different version to the original in terms of guitar sound, harmonies etc. sounds quite raw, but good for it. Maybe it was live after all?
actually, justin recorded it with two chaps from 10cc but you wouldn't have known it if you saw them singing live - john was just as good as if he was on the original
a bit different from the other blue guitar version on the net, the one with gary glitter at the start.IMHO even Haywards guitar solo at the end is a bit different which shows most is recorded but some of its live.
This video cracks me up John get bombarded by all the that glitter where Justin hardly none...I wonder if it was suppose to be that heavy on John kinda looks funny! it just hanging all over him!!!
Mr. Heywood. I do not care what you think of my comment but here it is. Thank YOU so much for the music. BTW, did Mr .J Lodge come from Erdington Birmingham ?.
Philip Thompson, awesome comment! And yes, that is where John grew up. I went school with a guy with your same name. He sat in front of me in one class and was soo cute! :)
They're not the Beatles but as far as I'm concerned they are equals respectively in their own henre. Their music has been comsistently thought provocing rather than the early giddie teeny bopper stuff the Beatles cranked out. Of course the Beatles later evolved and then evolved again.
I wonder whose idea it was to have all that mess raining down on them. Makes me feel like I need get over to The Dollar Tree and get one of those tiny brooms to brush all the junk off those boys. Good song, though.
This song brings back some great memories from 1975.
Whi is not in love with these two. And still today, at age 74, Justin and John sing and I still melt!
both are the most handsome men of this world. My God...Thanks for putting them here for us.
John Lodge still as handsome as he was in 1975.
That gorgeous cheeky smile and the Hair.
Justin will be 75 this October
Love them so...
2021 March 💟
The best two ever! Love these guys with all my heart and always will.
Blue Guitar, I love this so much and If was going to come back in life I would choose to be Justin, he's so much my Hero

I can't resist this...those lovely men....their connection is palpable. I get quite emotional watching it.
They are so young! Handsome & sweet. What a joy it is to watch them sing. They have such beautiful voices, and the song is such a joyful, hopeful one. Justin and John & the Moodies have always been my favorite. They have such a special gift. Sing forever boys!

Absolutely brilliant, 2 gorgeous guys singing a gorgeous song

Great song. Great guitar sound.

I'd been looking for this song for ages,i'd forgotten the title of it,until i heard it on the radio just now.I had to look it up.What a great song!
these two and jeff lynne with ringo on drums and paul mc cartney on bass...my dream team,moody blues meets ELO and beatles.,thanks pal
this song , the tune just gives me a high... i love it...
You don't so just keep watching it like I do. Justin Hayward is so handsome and John too!
excellent song, much underrated.
One of my favorite song.
A beautiful song. After it came out, I could only get a scratched up 45 copy. I played it all the time.
I can't wait to see them TWICE in my homestate of Minnesota next June. They have quite the summer tour lineup
Superbe chanson de Justin et de John
Saw them on tour in Plymouth in 1975. Did an acoustic set then a rock set. Brilliant. Had American twins in the backing group, Sensational.
moody blues are the best if you don;t know the words to the tune then listen to the song
@SephynnXx
They rule in any genre.
Beautiful song!
Great video MoodiesFan! You rock!
John is laughing his ass off at that falling confetti!
still love this video, one of my favorites with 'Forever Autumn'....
I can never listen to this without breaking into tears.
very emotional song
Bless you....
Great tune!!! This song is why I play.....a blue guitar. Thanks for posting, made my morning.
John Lodge always looks like he's having fun.
How am I supposed to stay away from this video?
@chocolatcats Indeed! And they still have IT...live performances that leave you in bits!!!
Perfection!
Still touring, but they can't do it for ever. Crawl over broken glass to get tickets if you have to....you won't be disappointed!
best.song.ever.
I guess I am in a Moody Blues state of mind.
I will always love the music of the Moody Blues, and the Blue Jays was a continuation of that as the the Moodies were taking a five year hiatus. You can tell John and Justin have a special working relationship and enjoy signing/playing together. I think John must be a pretty good sport to keep playing with all that blue confetti falling in his hair, which must have been just a little distracting.
OMG, Justin was HOT in this video!
Amen
Love this classic
Hi Lyndy, the song was released about October 1975, justy after I started work at 16. One of those songs you can pinpoint to defined time in your life.
super song, still have the single
Wot a classic..
New hope
Travelers in a storm
Finding love is warm
New day
The world has just begun
Our eyes have seen the sun
If you don't know the way
If you can't see the wood for the trees
Taste the wine from the water
Well what should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer?
@thedustcart
Did you get to see them in '09? The magic is still there!!!
Blue guitar
Fortune of my ways
Making of my days
New chord
Counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy
If you don't know the song
If you can't put the words to the tune
Tell the rhyme from the reason
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer?
Thanks to you I can...over and over again...yummy Lodgey...I might just have to quit my job and watch it full time, lol!
Poopaloo55, I agree! John was yummy! Justin was a doll, too, but Lodge just does it for me. :)
@Poopaloo55 and if I saw them in person/concert, I'd probably hyperventilate..two handsome men like that? Gods of music....
We also thought we knew it all and it was all in front of us :-(
Moodyfan/Mark, you come up with some great vids too. :)
moodyfan999, I got this better copy from a Heart of gold Moody Blues fan. ;) and a few other too. But most of them I got when they came to my home town. :)

@lala5732 Our John handles it all with his usual sense of humour...what a guy!
Great post
As long as he can tell me the odds of anything from Mars coming he can sing anything.
This doesn't sound live as such, but is a very different version to the original in terms of guitar sound, harmonies etc. sounds quite raw, but good for it. Maybe it was live after all?
Yes INDEED ❗😊
Produced by Eric Stewart of 10cc!
Looks to me like Justin is getting a kick outa John getting covered with that tinsel or whatever they're dropping on them!
actually, justin recorded it with two chaps from 10cc but you wouldn't have known it if you saw them singing live - john was just as good as if he was on the original
Nobody else could pull this one off without looking like morons... they are so cool!
+Neal Mayborn ha ha ha...that's what they're thinking by the looks they keep giving each other in this.
a bit different from the other blue guitar version on the net, the one with gary glitter at the start.IMHO even Haywards guitar solo at the end is a bit different which shows most is recorded but some of its live.
This video cracks me up John get bombarded by all the that glitter where Justin hardly none...I wonder if it was suppose to be that heavy on John kinda looks funny! it just hanging all over him!!!
@planetjanet2
I think you're right...it's the blizzard that has him cracking up!..And where's Justin's blizzard?
Boy, I love the tight pants that Justin is wearing Wow!!! The Blue Jays are soooo SEXY!! ;)
Blimey...too much tinsel boys!!!
hall of fame or hall of shame
Mr. Heywood. I do not care what you think of my comment but here it is. Thank YOU so much for the music. BTW, did Mr .J Lodge come from Erdington Birmingham ?.
Philip Thompson, awesome comment! And yes, that is where John grew up. I went school with a guy with your same name. He sat in front of me in one class and was soo cute! :)
Was it Christmas when this was released?! Love it whatever but there is a fair bit of tinsel flying around!
@reneecalling Actually, that was when I HAD hair!!

Funny. Lodge doesnt play or sing on this single. It was a JH solo song. That's why it was never on the album but was good enough to promote it.
I think it was a Blue J's song.
I believe John Lodge went into the studio, and added his bass guitar to "Blue Guitar".
Huh. Looks more like Justin Hayward and Graham Edge to me.
